So how do you continue unwinding exceptions?  If code should never
get to the unwind block then you can always make the unwind-resume
function be a call to abort() for objc with sjlj.  That said, I
suggest you read the comments in ada/raise.c starting from line 368
(llvm-gcc-4.0).  I would be amazed if sjlj really works without
proper tables, except in easy cases.

Best wishes,
